Turks and Caicos Islands: 5 Day Forecast

Ahoy from Mudjin Harbour on Middle Caicos, Boaby Rock Point on Grand Turk, and Grace Bay on Providenciales. Today at Mudjin Harbour the sun rises at 6:44 AM and sets at 6:23 PM, with the moon 37% lit. Skies stay mostly clear tonight, so stargazing could be fine, and low in the early evening western sky ye may spot bright Venus after sunset.

Friday brings fine boating weather across the islands, matey. Through the morning, all three spots stay warm near 83 to 84 F with humidity in the low to upper 70s, and with the humidity it will feel like 90 to 93 F. Winds blow steady easterly around 11 to 15 MPH, strongest off Grand Turk and Grace Bay, while waves run mostly 2 to 4 feet, calmest at Grace Bay near 2 feet through much of the day. Clouds stay very low early, then build only a touch into the teens by midday. Any rain signal stays so light it should be hard to notice, though Mudjin turns a bit muggier and hotter by afternoon at 85 to 86 F, where with the humidity it will feel like 94 to 98 F. Dinner time stays pleasant for outdoor tables with warm easterly breezes, low clouds, and manageable seas. Boaby Rock Point stands out as breezier than the others, while Grace Bay is the smoothest for beachgoing and easier nearshore water.

Saturday stays shipshape as well. The day starts warm around 84 F at all three locations with humidity near 77 to 79%, and with the humidity it will feel like 92 to 94 F. Morning easterlies run about 12 to 15 MPH with 3 to 4 foot waves, then by midday and afternoon winds ease a little to around 10 to 13 MPH and bend E to SE in places. Mudjin grows hottest in the afternoon, reaching 86 to 87 F and feeling like 97 to 99 F, while Grand Turk and Grace Bay hold closer to 84 F and feel like 91 to 93 F. Clouds remain scarce, so sunshine wins most of the day, and the rain signal fades enough that most crews, divers, and beachgoers should stay dry. Around dinner time, all three locations look friendly for outdoor seating with light to moderate breezes and 2 to 4 foot seas. Mudjin again runs notably warmer than the country average, while Grace Bay keeps the smallest waves.
